On the way back to Nangang, Bai Yongnian kept his eyes closed and rested.
When they were about to arrive at the Wuyang County Guest House, Bai Yongnian said slowly: "You have 4.5 million in cash in the trunk. This should be enough to pay for the transfer of the winery, as well as the start-up capital."
When Chen Bo heard this, he almost stepped on the brakes.
"Where did the money come from?"
"They borrowed it. They went to drink last night and they all came with money. They know that I have just come out and I need money for my retirement. This is a little bit meaningful and also to settle the previous things. These relationships, I helped You have been introduced. If you are good, they will sell me face. If you are not good, the drinking party is over last night and everything is over. No one owes anyone anything anymore." Bai Yongnian sighed and said.
"Is this the end of this circle? I thought they were so grateful to you..." Chen Bo felt relieved when he heard this was the result.
Bai Yongnian looked out the window and said: "In their eyes, I am no different from a disabled person now. If my health is good, when I regain my freedom, I can still communicate with each other, and many relationships can be knitted again." , now I can’t, I can’t drink, I can’t walk long distances, how can I still have the energy? After collecting these money, they and I will be settled. As for the house, will you be able to get in again in the future? It’s up to you.”
Chen Bo smiled and continued what Bai Yongnian was saying.
He felt that it didn't matter if he didn't need the money, he could help Chen Xiaoyan open the winery with his own salary or other means. As long as he didn't lose all the money, it would be no problem to provide him with a pension until the end of his life.
What Chen Bo meant was that since he had agreed, he would definitely help him to the end, buy him a good coffin, find a good cemetery, give it to him in a glorious manner, and guarantee that he would not be wronged down there. Bai Yongnian was so elated that he couldn't even raise his head from laughing in the back seat of the car.
"Don't believe it?" Chen Bo looked at the skinny old man in the back seat in the rearview mirror and said.
It took Bai Yongnian a while to stop laughing. The crutch in his hand supported his body. Slowly, he looked at Chen Bo and asked, "Boy, tell me, why do people live?"
Chen Bo found it difficult to answer and chose to remain silent.
Because this is a question destined to have no unified answer. Some people do it for food and clothing, some people are looking for ways to live forever, some people do it for the moment when their bodies tremble, and some people choose to reboot for life.
If Chen Bo didn't answer Bai Yongnian's answer, he might as well choose to remain silent.
"Chen Bo, I have no other intention of helping your sister build this winery, let alone to repay your so-called promise to provide for me until I die. My own children can't do it, so how can I count on you? Me, I just want to find something to do, get busy, live with desire, die with regret, this is the best outcome." Bai Yongnian's words are the truth that makes people reflect.
Chen Bo nodded and was about to say thank you, but Bai Yongnian gave another answer that surprised Chen Bo.
"However, I would rather help you get to a higher position, at least higher than when I fell. Do you think so?"
"Do you think I have that ability? I have thought about it, but my background is like this. If I want to move up, it will be very difficult and I will pay a lot of price. Lao Bai, do you think the current class has been solidified? A word from the bottom of my heart." Chen Bo asked.
"It goes without saying that everything you can see and what you can't see has already been arranged, but there are always some people who don't believe in evil and want to break through the network and fight for a position that can help the next generation. In fact, people How much does it cost to eat, drink, and have diarrhea, and why are so many people willing to try it?" Bai Yongnian asked.
Chen Bo thought for a while and said: "Everyone wants to try it, but they are afraid that they will die if they try it."
Chen Bo's excuse was also very simple. Hundreds of trees in his home were peeled off. If he hadn't known Gao Yan, and if he hadn't happened to be a civil servant, this matter would have gone unnoticed. Who would have done it? For the sake of standing up for an ordinary person, even if the police are called, even if the person is arrested, will the ordinary person dare to argue with these people?
Chen Bo is still a man who has contributed to the country, and he has never backed down for every inch of land. But if you really get there and return to your hometown, then you will be nothing, just like Mr. Zhou who laughed at his high school Like your classmates, do you really think studying can change your destiny?
How can your ten years of poverty be worth my three generations of business?
Bai Yongnian smiled when he heard this and said, "It seems you still haven't figured it out. Okay, go back. I'll help Xiaoyan set up the winery first. When you have some money, you won't feel at ease in your current position." ”
It has to be said that Bai Yongnian's understanding of human nature goes deep into his bones.
Chen Bo is content with his current job, not because he has not suffered setbacks, so his ambition cannot be stimulated. On the contrary, ambition grows slowly as his own conditions continue to improve.
Literary works often put a lot of frustrations on the protagonist, thereby stimulating the protagonist's potential to burst out. This is only suitable for those with extraordinary talents, but more protagonists' ambitions slowly grow because his own situation has improved. , which gave him greater ambition. Can you expect that by beating a beggar, he can become a gang boss tomorrow?
Miao Hongyun has no intention of going to work these days. He has been running back and forth between Yukang County and Nangang City. His wife Zong Yudie is also following him.
"I don't think this matter can be let go like this. There are many more greedy people in our city than you, so why should we arrest you?" Zong Yudie said angrily while driving, looking at her husband behind her.
Miao Hongyun was upset. She put her hands on her temples and kept pressing them, hoping to relieve her headache.
"You can't say that. There is someone who is more greedy than me. Qiu Chengan is still dead. Why don't you compare with him? The current situation is that whoever you catch will be unlucky, and don't try to catch anyone. If you really have that ability, just take it. How is your brother doing with the money, or cleaning it up?" Miao Hongyun asked worriedly.
"I have already told him that we are working on it. Lao Miao. I want to go out and hide with the child first. What do you think?"
"You've handed in your passport, what the hell, where are you going to get out of?" Miao Hongyun was distracted as he dealt with his wife's wild ideas.
What Miao Hongyun wants now is to cooperate with Chen Bo to do what needs to be done and hide what needs to be hidden. After passing this level, he immediately resigns and leaves the circle, and then slowly transfers the rest. The rest of his life will be like this. You can enjoy the blessing.
This process may last several years, but it may not be too late to take action now. The question is how to stabilize Chen Bo.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in the office that day, the guy's eyes had been staring at the family photo on his desk...
